Corky Reviews

Miguel
Corky is a lovely place to stay. We got lucky with the weather and enjoyed every minute! Kate, Beatrice, Larry and Olga were all super kind and helpful. We have a slightly reactive dog and this place was fantastic.
Allan
For the price the accommodation is fine. Location out of this world, a walkers paradise, beautiful view across gently undulating farm and park land. Sitting out on the patio I really felt I was getting away from the worlds madding crowds. The main building has a grand piano, a surprise extra, lovely sound, which the owners kindly allowed me to playRead more. I can also highly recommend the 'Bell Inn', just down the road in Gumley. Excellent food and prompt service with a smile. Hide
Oona
We loved the accommodation and Kate was very helpful with recommendations of walks and places to eat. The area is very beautiful and we had great weather while we were there. We also had our dog with us and there was a welcome box for him and homemade cookies for us. Thanks for a great stay.
Billie
A perfectly idilic stay in the heart of beautiful countryside. The cabin is cosy & well maintained with everything you need for a relaxing break. The owners are helpful, friendly & great with communication and information on the area. Five stars from this completely happy, totally recharged couple.
Kimberley
What a lovely little stay in the cabin. Cosy, lovely to relax in. Nice walking (although treacherous country roads) to be had around, Foxton Locks within a good walks reach. The little touches here were so lovely, too. The hosts made sure it was clean, smelled good, and provided some tea, coffee, sugar and even milk and cookies. The little box for Read morethe dog was lovely and the hot tub was amazing. We hope to visit again, it was so relaxing! Hide
Alan
Really good location for getting away from it all. Although a TV would have been better than the projector. The second bedroom was a tad cold due to no heater in that room. Loads of walks and places to visit. I lived in Leicester so it was good to get away for a break. Don't forget to take some milk as the nearest shop is in Fleckney. Great for FoxRead moreton Locks. RIII Museum. Just sit back and enjoy the sheep and cows!! Hide
Chloe
Lovely cabin with a lot of space, beautiful views all around. We had an amazing time, the owners even left our puppy a welcome box
Tracey
Lovely comfortable, clean cabin, set in a beautiful area. Good for long country walks. The nearby Foxton locks worth a visit. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend.
Nicola
A lovely place to stay. Amenities were very good and we were very comfortable. The host was very thorough with information which made the stay very stress free. Would love to come back!
Hayley
Lovely, comfortable, cosy cabin. Tastefully decorated with sumptuous bedding and soft furnishings. Hosts were really helpful, with useful tips and advice for exploring the area and made sure the cabin and hot tub were heated up before we arrived.

Old Dairy Farm Centre - PO30 2NB
about 20 Miles
Suited to families with children of all ages this is a fantastic attraction in Northamptonshire.  There are many special events held throughout the year so don't forget to check what's happening while you are staying in the region.  Some highlights include the lambing weekends and the monthly local food fayres.
Old Dairy Farm Country Shopping and Craft Centre - LE14 3PF
about 20 Miles
From shopping to home cooked refreshments this is a wonderful day out in the pretty village of Upper Stowe.  You can enjoy amazing views over the Northamptonshire countryside and wander around the complex of stone built farm buildings.  Each building houses something different such as the Occasions Florist, Itsy Bitsy Gifts, Hayrack Gallery and Sheer Delights Lingerie.  When it's time for a rest the Barn Restaurant and Tea Room is the place to go.  There is a small selection of animals at the centre too which younger children will love.  They currently have two Kune Kune pigs, sheep, hens and ducks.  If you are looking for upmarket holiday accommodation in the Northamptonshire area then the luxury lodges at Wicksteed Park are sure to impress.
The Royal Forest of Rockingham - LE16 8UW
about 22 Miles
The Royal Forest of Rockingham in Northamptonshire is the perfect place to enjoy a range of outdoor pursuits including Walking, Cycling, Nature Trails and Horse Riding. The beautiful medieval hunting forest offers areas of ancient woodlands, agricultural land and peaceful stone-built forest villages. The forest is also abundant with wildlife including Deer, Squirrels, Butterflies and Birds.
Catanger Llama Trekking - NN12 8LJ
about 25 Miles
This is a really unique attraction and certainly worth a visit in our opinion.  Established in 1995 and situated in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside this attraction will appeal to those looking for something a little different.  You can't ride the animals but you can trek alongside them and enjoy the fantastic scenery.  From farm tracks to country lanes the gentle animals will carry your rucksack for you along the way.  There are personally guided treks available all year round and you will have your own Llama for the trek.
Conkers - DE12 6GA
about 27 Miles
Conkers is an award winning attraction located in the midst of the National Forest.  Combining both indoor and outdoor activities this is an all weather attraction in the Peak District.  It's really easy to get to as well, just 5 miles from Junction 11 off the M42.  Designed for all ages some of the highlights include the Enchanted Forest Adventure play area and a simulated Tree Top walk.  Look out for special seasonal events such as October half term and the Annual Halloween Party.  At the moment you can receive a fantastic discount if you book your tickets online.
